Weekly Market Report

OSWESTRY LIVESTOCK AUCTIONS.MARKET REPORT.26:09:18.

FAT CATTLE: (25)

Consistent in terms of numbers again but we still need more cattle to satisfy keen demand. Top slots hit 243p for Heifers, 203p for Steers and 185p for Bulls. Highest in the lump was £1356 for a Heifer and a bottom book of 130p/kg for a native Steer. An overall market average of 201.5p/kg was achieved. If you have cattle to sell please contact the Auctioneer Jonathan Evans on 07971 002650 or the Market office. Please ensure all cattle are clean and double tagged when offered for sale.

Trade still subdued with buyers having very limited orders at the moment. More Welsh ewes forward meant the overall average slipped to just shy of £30 with a top price of £86 going to a Texel ewe from K C Jones, Llangynog. 12 Tups averaged £58 with a top price of £120 for a Texel ram from R G Rogers, Weston Rhyn.

Please Note : All sheep entering the Market must be tagged.
